    work in medical sales which I have done for past 18 years, I really enjoy it but getting harder as capital purchases are all but dried up as you can imagine in the NHS.

    Work for a great company so happy enough, we are trying to ride out the hard times 😕

    doesn’t do it for me but can see that it would be fun to try, but it would involve a lot of pushing it uphill

    ouch is not the word 😯

    I did the same thing 13 weeks ago only just getting back to work, worse injury than a broken bone, long recovery period that’s for sure – poor person

    speedy recovery

    can you just move your fence 😉

    has the builder given you a price???

    maybe just paying the legal fees would be enough for the builder plus some beers you never know

    6-8 weeks 😯 it pays to learn the spanners for sure, also to use your LBS as much as possible for parts etc as they’ll be more likely to help you out in times of crisis (lack of knowledge/right tool etc)

    I run mine 1×10 and think it’s perfect gives me the versatility to use for lots of applications plus I am not fit enough for SS 😳

    plus have Reba RL 100mm and find them a perfect match, but like the option of the rigids too

    I have both and are great.

    I run the red eye off my maxx-D on the bars and have a micro on the diablo I put on the helmet.

    I do pull the cable out of the red eye off road as it is too bright as said above for group rides, I think you could ride with it alone 😯

    It was disappointing as a solely MTBer, but as foxyrider said it was good to be able to speak to some of the niche brands and I think I have found my next frame 8)

    The shop part of the show was dreadful but to be honest I wanted to see a lot of the new 2012 bikes but very limited numbers on display.

    I have never seen so many electric bikes, is that really the future??

    Met up with the ST gang and had a good chat so not all bad 😀

    home from work anytime between 5 and 6pm usually, food and bedtime stories for the girls, change and out on trails around 7.30pm.

    For food I usually try and eat a big lunch if I know I am going for a night ride and will then just have beans on toast/sandwich with family before I go out and then some cereal when I get back.

    If travelling for a night ride usually home a bit earlier, grab a snack pick up mates and on the road to meet the chain gang for a 7pm start, ride for usually 2 hours then to pub for a debrief, home usually around midnight 😯 I can’t wait to get fit again to start it all 😉

    guilty as too.

    I have cleared a load of bike and camping gear in the past month as I had duplicates and triplicates of things. Plus lent out a load of baby gear to friends.

    Really need a good blitz of everything and get the house in some sort of order, stuff for stuffs sake it crazy. Hoping we can sell some stuff if not the charity shops will be getting car loads of stuff if not.

    I aim to get the house in order and break the hoarding instinct over winter fingers crossed 😀

    as Jam bo really as I have built my Swift from a frame from here, I guess I could shoe the threads I bought from etc.

    If a seller is genuine I would expect fairly prompt replies and good information, basically honesty

    I upgraded from a joystick to a diablo and run it on med as above and agree it’s loads better. brighter and better when used in-conjunction with a brighter handlebar light such as a Maxx-D, as not such a difference in brightness when looking to the side than the front if you catch my drift.

    Plus the Diablo is bright enough as a stand alone light for short blasts on high and as a get home light if your main light fails
